Today’s episode is going to be all about gratitude, because it’s Thanksgiving week in the United States! While it’s amazing to practice gratitude during the month of November, I believe it’s something that is important to do year-round. I’m excited to talk about the two main types of ‘fuel’ the brain runs on (it’s truly fascinating to me how God designed our human brains), what it can look like to have a gratitude practice and joy journal, simple steps for increasing joy in your everyday life, and more.

 

I recently learned that joy is a supra emotion (meaning it connects with other emotions at the same time) - it’s not just synonymous with happiness like I used to think. Joy is contagious, it’s VERY much needed, and it draws good movement. This is a short and sweet episode, but I hope it’s valuable for you as you focus on fostering joy during your holiday gatherings, and throughout your entire year!

 

In this episode, we cover: 

• The two types of ‘fuel’ our brains run on
• Creating a gratitude practice and starting a joy journal
• Simple steps to increasing joy + the impact of seeing joy on other peoples’ faces
